How do I make several workbooks work together?
I have 60 workbooks from where I need to gather information on a monthly basis.
These are personell sheets for vacations, leave of absence and so on. From time to time I need to make changes in the functions that I have in these workbooks, is there a way I can link these workbooks together, so that I can make changes in e.g. a template file and these changes will also take effect in my other workbooks. ____________________ I have one workbook that gathers information regarding used vacation and another workbook that gathers information regarding sick days and so on. I do this by adding a particular cell in several of the workbooks like this: ='C:\ansatt \fravær\[153name.xls]Fraværsregistrering'!$C$26+'C:\ansatt \fravær\[189name.xls]Fraværsregistrering'!$C$26 Is there a way that I can link groups of workbooks and then use a function to gather the value from cell C26 in all of these workbooks/groups of workbooks? Thanks Elisabeth |
Forgot to mention that I'm working with Excel 2003

Your first question: No, not for functions. What you CAN do is to place
some VBA code in the template file that would open/change/close each file in turn. You would need to designate, somehow, what cells in the template file you want carried over to all the other files. Your second question: You would have to use a formula like you show. Again, VBA is also an option. HTH Otto "Elisabeth" wrote in message ...
